Then there is the famous controversy over whether pizza can ever contain pineapple. Those who eat pizza say it is an Australian peculiarity. One of Australia&#39;s greatest rugby union players, David Campese, was of Italian heritage and used to play there in the off season. He loved that pizza. So he persuaded the local pizza shop to make it with pineapple. They sold it with a suitable Italian name: Pizza Campese. 2026-04-30T05:38:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9pj6a8r7cp8um9sten3c0azp7w6cem9k8a8g35xllwrevrqhjqzqzyrl6e04fk7g40cpu6t5gwkxwysd7retgph8x5e7lys680v8rjtsvgja99uw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw28uljlh298yc049um6zvztz3dfp9emwf58ffnc4jh6m5k95v77sf3ag37'>nevent1q…ag37</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>one of the first amusements after I came here 52 years ago was that the lecturer in Italian had obtained a research grant to investigate the ingredients in pizzas with the same names in different restaurants in Sydney.

One of my longest lasting notions is that when I was 9 my mother suggested to my brother (then 12) and I that we should choose pictures for our rooms in our new house. I chose a picture of a Chinese goose, which is on the wall in front of my desk as I type. Lasting impact of the importance of art. Who knew that I would end up writing a book about art? 2026-01-30T19:19:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp5guf34yj0cfggxg3hm5td0gj0zt93tpnah77wzvay020m3qsunszyrl6e04fk7g40cpu6t5gwkxwysd7retgph8x5e7lys680v8rjtsvguvlap4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9nkx558x2wn8dn4urz303nlw5wvdfgq93g9htvzgr7y5l4hxzk8st3785w'>nevent1q…785w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What about Scrivener.

Of course, depending on the method, many forms of multivariate statistics depend on something like correlation too. And it also depends how much of the variation is captured by the first two components. It reminds me of my time back in the day using a hand held electronic calculator to calculate t-tests. I did ninety eight before breakfast one day. I was really pleased to get 5 significant differences. Only later did I realise the significance of that. 2026-01-27T22:45:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8ggrjhcath6xdsm7cvd2az0hss744armcutx4a7a8w73x2pu55ngzyrl6e04fk7g40cpu6t5gwkxwysd7retgph8x5e7lys680v8rjtsvgykfux3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspksp3xxwjwgh7zge5szfs40r8fmhm82duz685s96h8uedxwrvumq9m09s7'>nevent1q…09s7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>there would be some nice independent countries of the West Coast of North America and the East Coast.
